A slick port of still-great gameplay and distinctive visuals. [Feb 2012, p.111]

It's a sprinkling of glitter rather than an overhaul. [Feb 2012, p.109]

Richer than most kiddie Kinect options. [Feb 2012, p.107]

Bond's Ops are crude, overlong slogs - padding, pure and simple. [Feb 2012, p.104]

Some amazing moments, some truly abysmal. Saints Row is wildly imaginative but the lack of technical polish and the weak combat mar the creativity. [Feb 2012, p.100]

It would score higher if it was a quid. [Dec 2011, p.112]

The brainy who apply will find a lot to like in the conundrums. [Dec 2011, p.112]

It's an arse-ugly game to watch, but not without charm. [Dec 2011, p.]

It's a game of two halves, but the good half carries the bad. [Dec 2011, p.103]

It eventually becomes too much of a grind. [Dec 2011, p.101]

A wasted opportunity - frustrating to play and too ugly to love. [Dec 2011, p.98]

Unfairly difficult platforming lumbered with controls that aren't up to task. Fight against both for a rewarding experience, or climb back into your coffin.

We'd be happier with a full rebuild of the original game. [Christmas 2011, p.110]

Still manages to crawl under your skin. [Christmas 2011, p.109]

Not enough depth for the purist, but on the cheap it's a simple brawler packing an enjoyable, no-nonsense punch. [Christmas 2011, p.106]

Distinctly underwhelming. [Christmas 2011, p.106]

Vision of the future, relic of the past - after such a long wait, Rage turns out to be both a triumph and a tragedy. In 2011, this just doesn't cut it. [Christmas 2011, p.104]

Moon is a clever zombie map fraught with panic and drama - something which CoDBLOPS already has in ample supply. Bluntly put, a rip-off.

Marbling madness epitomised, but Rock of Ages' rough mechanics could have done with more smoothing. Top marks for sheer oddness, nonetheless.

A mostly decent stand-off. [Nov 2011, p.113]

Functional but bland. [Nov 2011, p.112]

Generous blast of DLC. [Nov 2011, p.112]

Not perfect. But it's a welcome way to fill time between real games once the tournament kicks off Down Under. [Nov 2011, p.107]

A competent knock-off of Arkham Asylum which stands head and shoulders above Sega's other Marvel tie-ins. [Nov 2011, p.107]

An enjoyable but brief rundown of the events of the film. As missable as a Decepticon attack. [Oct 2011, p.89]

As much as we love EDF's template, the sequel needed to impress more than this. [Oct 2011, p.88]

The best Cars game yet, but it fails to dazzle on the tarmac. [Oct 2011, p.88]

MLB-standard presentation can't cover up for junior league gameplay. [Oct 2011, p.85]
